Our Commitment to Cancer Care

 

< Back to policies & procedures

At Elizabeth Avenue Group Practice we are committed to delivering compassionate, timely and personalised care to all our patients affected by cancer. We recognise that a cancer diagnosis can be life-changing and that patients and their carers need clear information, ongoing support, and sensitive communication at every stage of their journey.

We pledge to:

  • Treat every person affected by cancer with dignity, respect and compassion.
  • Provide accessible and clear information about diagnosis, treatment options and support services.
  • Ensure patients have a named clinical contact for continuity of care.
  • Provide holistic Cancer Care Reviews (CCR) at key stages, including post-diagnosis and treatment completion.
  • Engage patients and carers in shared decision-making, recognising individual needs and preferences.
  • Link patients with local voluntary and community services who can provide additional support.
  • We are dedicated to continuous improvement in our cancer care through regular patient feedback and participation in quality improvement initiatives.
